This video tutorial contains basic information and instructions for managing DNS servers. Detailed information can be found in the full article Domains – DNS Servers (NSSET).
Transcript of the audio track
For a domain to function properly, it needs to be connected to the DNS system. This connection is provided by specialized DNS servers, which are most often supplied for use by the domain registrar or web hosting provider. VEDOS provides its customers with DNS servers for domains, Webhosting, and also completely independently.
You change the DNS server provider with the domain registrar. If you have a domain registered with VEDOS, log in to the customer administration and then proceed as follows:
- In the navigation bar, select Domains.
- In the list, check the domains for which you want to change the DNS servers.
- Below the list, choose Change DNS Servers as the action for the selected items and click the Perform button.
If you want to set the default WEDOS DNS servers for the selected domains, just check the corresponding box and click the Continue button.
If you want to set DNS servers from another provider for the selected domains, obtain the names (domains) of those servers and enter them into the text field, each name on a separate line.
If at least one of the domains has the CZ extension, you can enter the name of the selected provider's NSSET for these domains. If the provider does not have its own NSSET, enter the DNS servers into the large text field according to the previous instructions; the system will create the NSSET automatically.
Once everything is filled in, click the Continue button.
In the final step, check the settings and click the Finish button.
The process of changing DNS servers itself, and especially the propagation of this change across the Internet, usually takes several hours. Typical times range between 6 and 48. So expect that during this time DNS queries will go to both the old and new DNS servers, and diagnostics may not return reliable results.
If you want to avoid service outages on the domain during this time, make sure that the same records are uploaded on both the original and new DNS servers.
If you want to set VEDOS DNS servers with another provider, enter the following DNS servers (all with W):
ns.wedos.czns.wedos.comns.wedos.netns.wedos.eu
For CZ domains, then set NSSET WEDOS (with W at the beginning).
